LINACLOTIDE vs LUBIPROSTONE

I wanted to make a post about how to treat STC, because I have never seen a comprehensive regimen for treating it anywhere else on the internet, and even the gastroenterologists I've seen have struggled with treatments. Since my diagnosis I have experimented a great deal with drug combinations (unde

Hi everyone, I really need help and I’m honestly very scared. I have dysautonomia along with severe gastrointestinal motility issues. My constipation is extreme and chronic not mild at all and it seriously affects my ability to function. Right now, I’m on prucalopride and Linzess (linaclotide), whic

Does anyone know when coupons like ozempic, vraylar, rybelsus, linzess, lo lo fe, will be back up? Are they already and I’m possibly doing something wrong? I believe I’m only having issues with novo and abbvie drugs. Asking incase I’m doing something wrong while processing them since some of the oth

***This text helps navigate the literature on 'central neuromodulators' (as conceptualized by Drossman) and offers a critical reading of the concepts, mechanisms, and efficacy that I have been considering for months.

I’m not sure but I’m hope this is the correct flair for this type of post. I don’t know if anybody else experience this or if they do, it’s to this degree. I want to make clear I have a GP diagnosis I’m not seeking a diagnosis, rather, seeking support from anyone who may be experiencing similar symp

I've had my IBS-C diagnoses for about 2 years now. This past fall it actually got significantly worse to the point where I couldnt go to my college classes, work, or really leave my house. Finally, my doctor prescribed meds (Linaclotide) and my symptoms have gotten much better. I dont experience a l

Does anyone else suffer with chronic constipation and has a Laxative regime that isn't insane? Been constipated since 2016 - treated aell with Linzess (linaclotide) with about a year of normalcy in 2022, during 5/6 years of remission on aza and humira before going back to working in an office seem

I've been sick for over 6 years. There's **a lot** to talk about and I won't go into detail here, I'm only sharing the most important parts to help out those of you who are suffering since I've been experiencing a lot of seemingly definitive recovery. I'll make a post and probably a video in the fut

Hi everyone, My mom was diagnosed with Parkinsons about eight years ago. Her situation has mostly been under control with medication and a lot of exercise. She tries her best to make do. The one major problem that is becoming almost a crisis is ever-worsening constipation. It's come to the poi

\*\*The Core Issue\*\* "Leaky gut," scientifically known as intestinal permeability, occurs when the intestinal lining becomes compromised. This creates gaps that allow toxins, bacteria, and other "unwanted guests" to bypass the digestive system's defense mechanisms and enter the bloodstream directl

Hi! I just started taking lubiprostone last week at 24mg twice a day. I had very severe diarrhea that would not stop (I’m talking miralax colon cleanse type diarrhea) and I got some shortness of breath for a little bit after taking, but it was manageable. I pulled back to only take the 24mg at night

Not asking for medical advice, just more general advice…. I was wondering if anyone else has experience with using Lubiprostone (Amitiza) instead of Lactulose. My Hepatologist recently upped my Lactulose dosage to help combat my ammonia levels which have been inconsistent and pretty high at times.

Hi. I have struggled with constipation my entire life. I have been to the gastro many times and used many different medications. Currently I’m taking lubiprostone once a day prescribed by my doctor as a trial. I haven’t noticed any significant improvement. I’m still always constipated. The best it

Anyone have any insight as to why Lubiprostone insert says to swallow capsule whole and not to break or chew? I was only able to locate one study in Japan where they dissolved the capsule in 55C water and had a 93% recovery of med through HPLC testing. Got a patient who has an NG tube and the cont
